With success coming mostly on the ground and a powerful 1-2 punch at running back, most people from Minnesota would expect a game description like that to apply to a Vikings victory; but instead, it was the textbook description of how the Tennessee Titans dismantled the Vikes 30-17 on Sunday.
In a daytime game with no [...]
Tragedy struck close to home for Gophers men’s basketball coach Tubby Smith on Sunday; his nephew, William Smith, 19, a Becker College student in Scotland, MD, was stabbed once in the chest following a fight at an off-campus apartment. He died shortly thereafter.
“We lost a special young man last night,” Tubby Smith said in a [...]
California point guard Justin Cobbs committed to the Minnesota Gophers on Sunday, delivering coach Tubby Smith the first pure point guard of his stint in Minnesota. Cobbs is considered a three-star prospect by most experts, but has been highly recruited and made his decision while visiting the campus at the same time as another prime [...]
Well, the Minnesota Vikings finally came up with their first win of the season, but it took until game three, and a QB change, to secure it. The win game against the acne treatments-needing, so-called “Cardiac Cats,” the Carolina Panthers, who the Vikes have done very well against over the years since Carolina entered the [...]
On Monday night, I took in the Vikings-Packers game at Joe Senser’s Sports Pub in Bloomington, and the atmosphere was nearly perfect, except for a number of obnoxious Packers fans who couldn’t win gracefully. There were plenty of promotional products available for the game, and my only real complaint is the waitress who didn’t want [...]
Even the best diet pill in the world won’t be enough to keep the purple and gold at bay tonight in Green Bay; with the early season match-up, there really is no weather advantage for the Packers tonight.
So unless there’s a huge windstorm or rain or something, tonight will be a match-up of talent, pure [...]
I’m itching for the start of the Vikings-Packers game tonight and one of the biggest questions on my mind is whether Adrian Peterson can be great again this year. Certainly, despite missing four games last season, he has already established himself as possibly one of the best runners ever to wear the purple and gold.
The [...]
Cancel the reservations for Las Vegas hotels, the party this Monday Night is on the gridiron! The Minnesota Vikings will open their season tonight against the Green Bay Packers, and for the first time in 16 seasons, the Pack will be without Brett Favre under center.
Since the Vikings have a refurbished pass rush threat with [...]
With won-loss results as reliable as mortgage quotes last season, after we won a close game against Northern Illinois last week, I wasn’t sure we’d see another Gophers win this season. However, the Gophers somehow remembered they play in the Big Ten Conference and posted a more convincing 25-point victory over Bowling Green this weekend.
Thank [...]
Former Minnesota Vikings quarterback typed up his own retirement announcement and withdrew from his NFL career on Thursday, mere hours before the new season kicked off with a Thursday night game. As has been typical of his career since just before leaving Minnesota, Culpepper blamed everyone but himself.
“It seems that the stance I took in [...]
